I tried to open to a site WWW.RAFY-A.com this morning and got an alert it was not available, but, I am now unable to dismiss or close the following ATTENTION! messages. I did click on the "click here to secure your data! on the top two now it shows a yellow triangle which I'm still unable to close or dismiss. Could someone please explain how to get rid of these. I ran Dell Support Assist but I do not have a virus option. I have not rebooted yet as I wanted to clear this up first and then reboot. Thank you. Irene

Regarding the new built in Firefox VPN. If I have Tabs open and Enable the VPN on a New Tab, does it then affect all previously opened Tabs, only the New Tab, only the New Tab and Tabs opened after that initial New Tab, or ? Also, is there a Meter Display or similar so I know how much of the 50GB VPN allotment has been used or is remaining ? Thank you, very kindly ...-- J V

Hi,

I noticed that in the latest release (I tried both MacOS and Windows 11 ARM versions) that the "network.cookie.sameSite.laxByDefault" is no longer enabled, and cookies set by applications without specifying the flag, are not set with Lax and are sent in cross-origin requests. Could you clarify if this is intentional and why the change has been made?

Thanks

I read that your new CEO is pro use of AI and doubling down on wanting to implement it. Meanwhile the literal main reason most people I know to use Firefox is that it doesn't have AI slopware. I really urge anyone capable of doing so to help reconsider a decision that is going to let down long-time users such as myself. It is getting harder and harder to avoid data leaks and security risks, and until now, Firefox seemed to have been the best browser for these purposes. I don't want to switch, but if you do this, I will have to.

When the AI chatbot is enabled in the sidebar but "collapsed" -- the tool not engaged -- is any data sent to the chatbot provider? Can the chatbot be collecting data while not engaging with the user? Or is context sent only with prompts and limited to the tab that is open?

What sort of sandboxing is enforced by Firefox?

In the last 4 or 5 days, I have been besieged by pop-ups from a scam website (I imagine) called giuyt.co.nz asking me to renew my norton subscription or telling me a virus has been found or a trojan detected. None of this is true. I have run scans on my system and there are no viruses and no malware. I have been into programs and deleted one or two programs i dont use, I have cleared my cache I have been into notifications and cleared that. Nothing I can do stops this avalanche of pop-ups (about 1 every 2 minutes). Can anyone help me please?

My Firefox on iPhone has a malware that pops up a box urging me to call a phone number (which I won’t do) about a payment. It has Cancel and Ok buttons, both of which trigger another box from the dialer containing the same phone number. I cannot get to the FF settings or escape from that page because the pop ups immediately come back and reload the page. The site looks like appleinstantsupportpays[.]z13[.]web[.]core[.]windows[.]net. All of the online advice relates to FF on Windows or Android. How do I clear the malware from my phone?

I recently opened Firefox to see a new flagged warning under my toolbar that says "The security sandbox is disabled. Your configuration is unsupported and less secure."

I have gone into about:config and adjusted every security.sandbox element to see if that would change anything; it did not.

I am running on Windows 11 Home so I cannot install or properly run Windows Sandbox.

I would either like a solution to enable the sandbox once again, or just remove the notification from the toolbar.

Security Breach and Continuous Issues on iOS Device

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Mohammad Kamal Borojerde, and I’m experiencing serious ongoing security issues while using Firefox on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I am a delivery driver working for Deliveroo, and my device is being targeted through remote hacking methods. I suspect that some malicious actors are using apps I’m not aware of to interfere with my internet, GPS location, and even stop delivery tasks that the company sends to my phone. This has significantly affected both my work and personal life.

Despite installing multiple security applications including McAfee (Reference No: 03203372) and Bitdefender (Reference No: 1010231778), my browsing remains unsecure, and settings keep getting changed or disabled without my consent. I believe attackers are also bypassing or disabling Firefox protections on my phone.

I kindly request Firefox’s security team to investigate this matter seriously. If possible, please help me: 1. Lock down or secure my Firefox browser fully. 2. Review any unusual activity linked to my device/browser. 3. Suggest any specific configuration settings that can protect me against remote access or phishing.

Here are my associated emails: Mod's note: PII removed

          • @gmail.com
          • @icloud.com

Thank you for your attention and assistance in this urgent matter.

Sincerely, Mohammad Kamal Borojerde

There must be a way to turn off this popup off. This is REALLY annoying when it covers a password box and to remove it i must click outside it and I lose focus on the password box. If you must put he box there then at least leave the first part of the password box clear so I cab click on it and not have to click again to get the focus back.
